A really good band. They may be considered "emo" but that doesn't mean they encourage people to self harm while listening to their songs. I believe they have a lyric that says "But I am cleaning up so well..."
SO maybe before you slag them off any more you should do your research.
A man who sings about his feelings is sexier than one who isn't intelligent enough to write them down and therefor disses guys who can.

I've had it with everyone bashing dashboard confessional. They're an amazingband who talk about REAL human emotions and REAL feelings and just REAL-everything. So what if the guy sounds like he was raped by his uncle when he was 14? Maybe a lot of us have and we need to vent our pent-up and impotent rage over insufferably "acoustic" music. Or maybe some of us live such sheltered existences that we wish we were raped by our uncles (or manservants) and need an excuse to plunge into some spurious manic-depressive nonsense. And so what if some 35 year old living in his parents basement and driving his parents 1994 dodge stratus talks about the problems of dysfunctional, socially inept, intellectually (and testicularly) challenged 17 year olds? That doesn't mean he can't express his FEELINGS in public and make pity money.
Enough with the hate. Bring the love. Or some blades.

Dashboard Confessional is to emo what Good Charlotte is to punk. Some may call them poseurs (for a very good reason...), and others may listen to them every night before they go to sleep. If you listen to them, that's great. If you don't, stop whining about it to the people who do. We all have lives.

Holy sh*t this band sucks along with all of the others in their genre. When are flip-flop-wearing, angst-ridden suburbanites going to realize that whiny vocals and repetitive power-chord strumming is not real music? Get over your trivial problems, you faggots...I don't care if your dad makes you clean your room or if some chick you think you're in love with likes your best friend. Get a job and stop inspiring more talentless metrosexuals to get together and write bad poetry with big (out of context) words interspersed in elementary sentences. These songs don't make any f*cking sense, and the fact that whole generation thinks that this garbage "speaks to them" is even funnier than the music itself. And please don't say that I don't understand, because you don't either...no one does...it's unintelligible dreck. Period.
